The increasing role of mobile devices in eDiscovery is undeniable, with recent data showing that 97% of eDiscovery cases now involve mobile devices. As mobile data grows in complexity, legal teams are tasked with handling vast amounts of evidence, often dealing with fragmented data sources, varying formats and significant privacy concerns. Technological advancements, such as the integration between Cellebrite’s digital intelligence tools and RelativityOne’s eDiscovery platform, offer a solution to streamline mobile data collection, processing and review. This blog explores how this integration works, its benefits and its potential to reshape mobile data handling in legal investigations.
The Challenges of Traditional Mobile Data Collection
Traditionally, mobile data collection has presented several challenges for legal teams. The process often involved multiple, disjointed tools that required separate steps for data extraction, processing and review. Legal professionals struggled to maintain data integrity while navigating the technical complexities of mobile devices. In addition, mobile data is unique in that it often includes diverse forms of communication, including messages, calls, emails, app data and more—each requiring different methods to collect and interpret.
These obstacles created several pain points, such as:
- Time-Consuming Workflows:Â The use of different tools for data extraction and review led to fragmented workflows and delays in processing.Â
- Data Over-Collection:Â Without clear guidelines or tools to target specific data, investigations often resulted in the collection of unnecessary or irrelevant data, complicating the review process.Â
- Security and Privacy Concerns:Â Legal professionals needed to ensure the collected data was processed securely, with full compliance with privacy regulations and that sensitive information was handled appropriately.Â
